Topic: Does anyone know what game this is? (Read 65587 times)

I will not aid an unprincipled company when I don't have to. If one has a lax attitude about everything, then everyone will take a mile when one gives them an inch.

One must put one's foot down at times.

Having a lax attitude about everything represents an extreme, which is not what I suggested. My message was: One must choose to fight the most important battles since time is such a limited resource that fighting them all is not a possibility.

Anyway, back on topic, even if you don't find the game you're after, I highly recommend Eye of the Beholder. Though I've only played the PC version, the SNES rendition looks very similar. In fact, this thread has brought the game back to mind, so when I find the time to, I'm going to revisit it.

It's dumb that they force the world to sign up for their utterly useless social network,

.... They don't.... They make you sign up for Google to use a Google service. It makes all the sense in the world.

Google+ is Google. It's not just the social media site, it's all of Google. You sign up for Google+ and it is your account for YouTube, Gmail, Google Drive, Chrome integration, Google Maps integration, the social media site, and quite literally every other service Google has to offer. It's all umbrella'd under the same account.

It doesn't make any sense to maintain multiple user accounts for the same thing within the same company. Why would/should they make you get separate accounts for YouTube and gmail when it's the same company running it? Merging them into one account makes perfect sense and is in every way better for all parties involved.

EDIT: I misread -- you said its "not" a good enough reason. So yes we agree.

I will do so.

In fact, I will look further into all of the games suggested in this thread, because if I can't find the game that I am looking for, I'd at least like to play a game similar enough to it.

Over the years it has become easier to describe the game that I remember because I have played more games that I can now compare parts of it to. For instance, I had never played any of the games that I compared it to in my original post back then.

No Doom, no Might & Magic, none of that.

I can now make comparisons to parts of those games because I have played them nowadays.

Looking at it, Obitus has roughly the same method of scrolling as the game that I remember. It also has a similar vibe.

Those are the only similarities, though.

UPDATE: The game itself played similarly to Might & Magic III's snes port, but not exactly so.

Thinking about it now, the game was almost like a Might & Magic clone of sorts that played slightly differently.

To describe it best, the game that I remember was like a mixture between Might & Magic III and Eye of the Beholder, with a character selection screen very similar to that of Heroes of Might & Magic.

Basically, if one took Might & Magic III's engine, applied some of the things that Eye of the Beholder had in common with what my description said, then put in a bigger version of the character select screen from Heroes of Might & Magic, it would be golden!

Superficially, the game is Eye of the Beholder, but visually, it looks more like Might & Magic III, save the death faces and game over screen (although the game over screen does not have the skulls on it, so it is not perfect either for the description).

Some things just aren't adding up.

I can only return to my hypothesis of this being some strange obscure homebrew.

I don't know if this might have been what chillyfeez could have meant in a way as well, but the 2 links appear to be to the same video.

Sorry. Didn't mean to just randomly jump in like this, though I do personally enjoy keeping up on threads like this where there's a mystery game from one's childhood. I hope that you're able to find out what it was.

EDIT: Just to add to confirm, as I probably should have established this from the start, but since I'm not as familiar with SNES games as I am NES games, I can't add much more to the search for the actual mystery game, and I do feel bad and am sorry about that. I truly wish that I could contribute to this thread, and I didn't mean for my post to come across like I was just trying to point out something that might have been missed. I only was hoping that the other video that you intended to link to wouldn't be lost or forgotten if there are others who could view them and potentially come up with some new ideas to suggest.Again, I apologize for any inconvenience, and I hope that the mystery game is figured out.

That makes me think I do have a game from when I was a kid and never retrieved.It was on computer, at the same period as Snood and Lemmings, and it was kinda looking like "The incredible machine". The purpose was to place several pieces so that a cannonball would travel to the goal. Most of the time, pieces only made a 90° turn to the cannonball but some had more special effects.

Any thoughts?

I hope someone can recognize this game. I recall a Super Famicom (or was it a PSX) game, its some sort of a strategy ala Ogre/FF Tactics where there's a Chun-Li look-a-like character and other female cast, and they have some sort of Jojo Stands with each of them.

I remember a game I used to play on my Commodore 64/128. I think I recall it being a cassette game but I could be wrong. It had fish that had chattering teeth that was so distinct that I can remember the sound effect vividly. If someone could recall this game...
